What should I cover next on "Great or Garbage" ?
Old DOD/Digitech DFX9 Digital Delay? Old Arion effects pedals? AND, throw us a Tab of Heaven Above...
BBE Sonic Maximizer, no fucking clue what it does, or how it does it. Used to be all the rage back in the day (although I personally never jumped on that bandwagon).
Pearl Jam's entire catalog LOL
Have you done the DS-1? I feel you could do it justice
Digitech DF-7
Sounds great! I always liked chorus. But hey, I'm a Gen-X metal head. So I have a legit excuse.
Everyone loves a chorus, some are ashamed to admit it
Steven Wilson for example
Sounds pretty damn good! I’m more akin to the subtle chorus sounds so I like a really slow/deep chorus and it nailed it imo
The King Of Chorus don’t get any better than this Analogman Chorus. Awesome Demo Leon 🤟🤟🤟
The cool thing about the Analogman Chorus (regardless which format you get) is it almost makes a Vibe of some sort totally optional, if not redundant. A lot of those sounds live in that pedal.
Yes! Big time Trower vibes in here
If you're watching this, hopefully you own one of these incredible chorus pedals. If not, get one immediately
Why didn't you show off the vibrato settings?
It can do some crazy things with the mix all the way up, and using the depth switch.
I wish someone would freakin' put the Yamaha XPS 90 rack unit's "symphonic" chorus in a pedal!!
😈
YES!
The Lifeson Chord sounds great with this 👍
That pedal is SUPER glorious!Awesome chorus and so much more I’ve always loved chorus puts a smile on my face 🤟🏻
We can’t let greasy chorus tones and boomer bends go by the way side! Though if someone wants to make a pedal version of the spx90 symphonic setting, that’d be great.
YES
Pat Travers -- tremendously under-rated.
Yes!!!!
I've never heard the Analogman Chorus. That is indeed a glorious chorus!!!
👍 One of my fav pedals! Had the mini with just the mix knob and fixed depth for donkey years. Really nice. Sold it recently and got the exact same one as yours, with the mix knob and depth switch. Very versatile, from subtle chorus to wild crazy swirls.
Interesting observation about the clock noise, 'cos I dun hear it (maybe 'cos I'm always playing clean with the chorus). Have to test it out this weekend.
You can make subtle with the mix knob.
Great review Leon ! Never had the chance to hear analogman's take on the chorus.. It vibes so different since I'm only accustomed to dimension c and ce-2.
Yeah it's like eating a hotdog after only ever eating burgers!
🤘👍🏿
👍🏼👍🏼Thumbs up Legends🎸
To think anyone would be ashamed to admit they liked an effect makes my head spin. I come from a particular upbringing I guess. That's like questioning someone's manhood. People get punched over stuff like that. I like chorus, but only very subtle chorus most of the time. And nowadays I would likely only use it for one song and one part. Probably acoustic. This pedal is just too thick in effect for me. I had an H2O pedal like that once. Dual effects. An analog sounding chorus and analog sounding delay. I never used the chorus for that same reason. It was just to overbearing.
Yea I'm a dinosaur, love chorus and phasers.
Phasers man phasers, I thought I wanted a chorus but then saw a flanger but some kid was playing with a phaser at the music store and I knew I needed a phaser all along
This sounds incredible.
That sounds really nice.
By the way, I've been going through your back catalog of content. You now have me gassing for a Molecular. Not sure if i should thank you or curse you for that lol
That's a VERY fun amp
@@LeonTodd it looks like it is!! I have an EVH 2x12 that i adore. Think it would sound good with that? It's hot heritage H30s in it that are positively devastating, yet warm.
Like 211 ✔👍 Love ' Love " Love Mini Chorus Demonfx
.
I believe Pat Travers actually uses one of these nowadays (the 'standard' model, not the mini).
Like the Pat Travers Stuff.
Yeah Pat rules
friend, can you tell me if I remove the Knob effect from the middle of the mini chorus, it leaves without chorus?
probably the best chorus pedal made of this circuit type
Love Stereo Chorus!
Mine is the dual out Stereo Chorus.
Chorus is the vitamin D of effect pedals. Just gives me tons of good feels when I hear it on a guitar.
Woe.... for a moment i thought Frank Marino ( Mahogan Rush) was playing! as for the pedal... anything Mike Piera touches just turn , if not gold, quite freaking! At one time, i bought a pedal from someone on Ebay or elsewhere, who then shipped it to Analog Mike to have it modified and shipped to me... And all went smooth... I dig Analogman pedals!
Far out I love Frank, an under appreciated guitar hero!
I'm surprised that you didn't play "No More Tears" to get a reference. You should try MXR Microchorus, you can cover Nirvana, Def Leppard and even Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest has one on all the time before hitting his amps. I'm assuming you have this before the drive from the clock noise. After drive/in fx loop gives less noise but I prefer chorus/flanger/phaser before drive.
Yeah chorus like this I also prefer pre-drive as a "character" effect
Nothing Analogman makes is garbage in my humble opinion
One of the few companies who deserve their stellar reputation. Mike is a true legend.
@@LeonTodd Totally. I bought my first piece of gear from Mike in 96 or so, he's the grand daddy of boutique stuff. I remember having to go to the post office to do a wire transfer because it was pre Paypal. His take on the DS-1 is very cool and of course he's the king of Fuzz and Tube Screamers!
and this chorus sounds so cool
Just bought one, then sold it. Only because there was a clear volume boost when engaged which I hate. When I inquired about it, Analogman offered to add a volume dip switch for $50. Gee thanks a lot. The pedal sounded great but couldn't take the volume boost. Nice demo.
Strange, I did not have that experience with mine.
Guess you got a good one.
Have you tried the Marvel Drive 3 or Tsakalis Room #40?
Been meaning to try the Tsakalis stuff
One of the first pedals I ever owned was a chorus pedal (DOD FX65!), so I fell in love with chorus even though it wasn't 'cool'. I was told it was only for clean tones (for the obligatory 80s power ballads that every bar band played), and that it had to go in this thing called an effects loop. Nonsense. I stuck that thing in front of my distorted amp and figured out I could get that big sound I was hearing on Rush songs. And when I turned the speed up, I could mimic a fast Leslie.
To this day, that's what I use chorus for; to do the Leslie thing, and to do the Lifeson thing. And when it's the FX65 (a different one now, as my old one died on me), it's always in front of distortion.
I feel you!
@@LeonTodd And now, chorus (and the 80s in general) is 'cool' again. It's funny how nostalgic trends come and go. But I will say that I'm not looking forward to the inevitable return of frosted tips and whatever else was hot in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Also, I'm loving the renewed interest in older rack effects. I would've really appreciated it in the early days of UA-cam.
Pat Thrall 😀
Sounds phenomenal.
Analogman are amazing
@@LeonTodd Guy makes great stuff. He is obsessive over quality parts. Everything they make . . . is Legit !!!
Not really a fan of the negative title of this segment. Everyone knows Analogman doesn’t make anything that’s “garbage”.
It's intended to be tongue in cheek rather than negative. I usually focus on inexpensive gear for this series but it's fun to put universally loved gear under the spotlight. Analog Mike is one of the good guys.
Analogman only makes very high quality and expensive AF boutique stuff
WHICH DISTORTION DID YOU USE?
That's coming from my Axe-Fx
Can't go wrong with Analogman's stuff. Regardless of the effect, they always have that organic sound that reacts very well to your dynamics. How the effect happens is also predictable. They don't get fancy with options, but they always impress.
I feel like the title is a bit of a joke with a product coming from Analogman. I can't imagine anything leaving that house could be called garbage.
It's the tuna that Analog Mike rejects that make Analogman the best
@@LeonTodd that's a great way to put it. This pedal sounds so fun though, a really fresh breeze compared to your regular maybe ce-2 type chorus pedals.
Soooo luscious! I don't know why food metaphors always come to mind when I hear a great chorus, but they do. Gooey, chewy, buttery goodness.
Nice video sir,
i need a little help if you can,
I am a student from india and, i am also a music lover , and i also want to play and learn guitar but i can't afford one ,help me with a little classic guitar, i don't want Money , i will be thankful to you my whole life, it will not cost you more than 90$.
Try to help if you can as i asked a lot but everyone ignored thinking me a scammer
Thankyou
Love your playing. Dont like Analogman stuff. Way over hyped by the corksniffers.
Nah. Disagree. Mike is one of the coolest guys in the game and his gear is top notch. No other company in the pedal space will customize their pedals on the way out the door just by sending them an email, and Mike will be the one responding. Great customer service.
Not a fan of Analogman or his stuff. You can have it.
